Piraten Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) This MOC is inspired by the Danish designer Jim Lyngvild and his book about the royal line. Based on Christian the 5 coronation crown which is part of the Danish crown regalia and are exhibited at Rosenborg Castle. It is meant to be easily recognizable via the light blue globe, as well as the shape with 8 diamond-studded hangers, and of course the large blue sapphire in the front! Who wouldn't like to have their very own treasure made out of bricks!? Perhaps someone who plays princess or king with his own crown or the pirates where it is part of their hidden treasure... or the knights returning from a crusade and have to coronate their new king! This will make a fantastic display piece in any environment. There are many more play options. It was an enjoyable build and many other LEGO collectors should enjoy this special build as well. Contains approximately 4,000 pieces. Hope you enjoy it! SUPPORT HERE Edited November 16, 2022 by Marooned Marin Added supprot button Quote
caiman0637 Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Wow, I had to do a double-take. This looks incredible, and not at all like LEGO! Quote

I didn't realize it was Lego at first either! Now that you mention it...how do we know @Piraten didn't just steal the crown jewels from the Tower of London? Quote
The Neighborhood Merchant Posted April 6, 2021 Posted April 6, 2021 Wow, this is seriously impressive! Well done! I also had to look twice to confirm it's Lego. Quote

Now that you mention it...how do we know @Piraten didn't just steal the crown jewels from the Tower of London? Some is Lego.. :) Other are 3D Prints. :) And some red velvet... And if I would steal it.. It would be from Rosenborg in Denmark. Inspiration is the crown of King Christian the 5th. https://www.kongernessamling.dk/rosenborg/object/christian-5-s-krone/. A lot of people tells me that they think its a real crown. 2 minutes ago, The Neighborhood Merchant said: Wow, this is seriously impressive! Well done! I also had to look twice to confirm it's Lego.

Captain Dee Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Whoa. That's phenomenal. Fantastic details. I love it. And yes, the crown looks real. Wow. Quote
Supersick_ Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 This reminds me of the Legoland life-size master builds that the Lego catalogs would showcase when I was a kid. Bravo! Quote

No they dont allow photos of people on Lego Ideas. And have not tried with the photo of all the regalias... Don't think they will allow the 3d printed items.. But will try :) Quote
VaneStream Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 This is very impressive! I also really like that it's life-size. Quote

Professor Thaum Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Amazing work !! My favorite is the cross : especially well thought ! Quote
natesroom Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 my only constructive critique is the half circle jewel under the cross. It looks good so I'm not downplaying how well you did. However from the photos i could find its actually a full circle jewel unless i found the wrong photos. And the full circle does give it something noticeable when differentiating it between crown of different countries. Quote
Stoertebricker Posted April 16, 2021 Posted April 16, 2021 Is there even a foto with you having the crown on your head and the goblet full of wine? Quote

On the real crown its a full globe and not a half like I made it. But i had problems with finding more of the lightblue pieces. Had to look at the cost of the parts :) And on the real crown its not that big. So decided to go half also to tone it down.

Yes there is a picture....... :) When It hits the 5.000 supports on Ideas i will maybe make a new photo :) A drunk king with a lot of wine Quote
